Casualties linked to Booby traps Washington a Pentagon sources say As Many As half the 43,000 americans who have died in the Vietnam War May have been killed by Booby trap devices. The official military estimate of Booby trap casualties is much lower. But because there is no precise record of the cause of wounds the figure could be much higher officials say. A rough Pentagon breakdown of combat deaths attributes 17,000 to Small Arm fire 8,000 to multiple fragmentation wounds caused by mortars and artillery 3,000 in aircraft crashes and 6,500 to mines Booby traps and grenades. The rest Are blamed on miscellaneous causes. Included in these figures Are 10,717 marines killed in the War. Twenty four per cent or 2,600 a were killed by mines Booby traps and miscellaneous explosions. The catch is that neither the army or the Marine corps claims the figures Are firm. The areas Shade into one another when it comes to fragmentation wounds and since nobody is keeping a precise record army and Marine officers concede its hard to Tell. It is not Only . Soldiers we troopers dropping by unite for lectures. The Booby trap also has taken on political ramifications. Sen. Alan Cranston d-calif., has echoed some Antiwar claims that half the americans killed in the War met death this Way.
